The quote I read was “If the chairman goes with me then I feel I am ready for it” Think that pretty clear he has. After Carlos he said something along the lines of the club needing a manager and the time after Luhukay he pretty much backed Steve Bruce for the job after the Preston game.

striker Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 I think it's gone on too long now not to be Bullen. The longer he is in charge, the more undermined he will be if a new manager comes in and the more damage it will do to squad morale. We're playing good attacking football, recruited well, players are happy and motivated and shown tactical awareness (which I thought he was lacking) in the first two games. Bullen wasn't my first choice, not a choice at all in fact, but does look our best option right now. I can accept losing some games if we keep playing high energy, fast paced attacking football, because we will win plenty more. We are enjoyable to watch right now, that's not always been the case.

I honestly think we are waiting for our man. Not so sure about that, imagine replacing Bullen after we’ve won the first 5 games and are 3-4 points clear at the top of the league. That won’t go down too well with supporters, players or the media. Seems like a bad idea to me, the manager should have been confirmed this week.

I'll think we'll tick along with Bullen without any official announcement. I think that gives the club maximum flexibility. It's working for now, why change it.

But no matter what manager we had in charge at the start of the season we should have expected to win most of our first 6 games with the players we have. Preston away is the only tricky one where we usually play crap. Hudders away on 15th of sept is when the real season starts and thats when poo will hit the fan no doubt. Thats when we will need a manager in. Thats when Bullen will be tested and hopefully wont end up in meltdown like did last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gizowl Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 On paper we have had a supposed easier start, but early season results throw up a lot of surprises,pre season favourites, Fulham, weeds, stoke, west Brom, forest all struggling, forget last season form, Millwall have got off to a great start, that is a tough game, whose saying tudders is when the season starts is talking gonads.

It would be disappointing for sure. Losing always is but even with the best manager / squad in recent years we’ve struggled at the start of the season. To expect it to be easy and only get a proper test in September does the current efforts a disservice. Every game is difficult and has the potential to trip up even the best teams, especially as they find their feet early doors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've a poor points return in South Yorkshire derbies under Mr Chansiri's reign. We've taken 6 points from Reading and Barnsley. Millwall away will be a tough test, without doubt. Any attitude of turning up expecting to win and we'll lose the game. Any team in this division genuinely can beat anyone, expecting wins is nonsense. The next two home games look a good opportunity to collect maximum points, but I also remember the "easy" games in our promotion chase under Carlos. Didn't we draw 0-0 at home against a team who didn't have a goalkeeper and people were predicting double figures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right so you didnt start the season absolutely thinking this is the best run of fixtures to start the season we could have asked for? Or you started it thinking OMG we are going to be bottom of table? Seriously even Bullen would have been licking his lips knowing these games are more than winnable. Im sure if the first 6 were cardiff fulham stoke hull leeds and wba then most fans would have been crying chocolate tears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't take anything for granted - being a Wednesday fan for 35 years has taught me that! History also tells me Wednesday play better/get better results against the tougher opposition, and usually f*ck up against the so-called "easy" games!
